Chapter 1095: Limits Are Meant to Be Broken
Everyone's hearts were in their throats!
Jiangnan looked at his restrained hands and feet, feeling like a piece of pork on a cutting board!
His heart was filled with uncertainty. Was it really necessary to lock him down like this?
On the lab's large screen, various data about Jiangnan's body was displayed one by one!
Li Bing waved her hand grandly: "Inject cooling fluid! Prepare the alloy syringe!"
As she spoke, a transparent liquid poured into the glass tank, completely submerging Jiangnan!
Jiangnan was utterly confused!
(⌯꒪▿꒪)ˀ̣ˀ̣ Why did he need cooling fluid for this?
Li Bing smiled: "Don't be afraid. First, we'll administer an IV to inject the fusion factor, then the reagent injection will follow."
In the glass tank, a mechanical arm suddenly extended over a hundred long, thin metal needles, all aimed at various parts of Jiangnan's body!
Jiangnan: !!!
What the hell!
So many needles? He was going to be stabbed full of holes! Even Rong Momo wasn't this cruel!
Seeing this, Xia Yao's legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground!
(꒪ͦ﹏꒪ͦ‖)
Jiangnan's eyes bulged as he shouted in the cooling fluid!
(‧̣̥̇థ口థ) "What kind of IV is this?"
Li Bing pointed her finger, looking incredibly sharp!
(｡͡°.̮͡°)☛ "The night of longing for you!"
"Stab him!"
Instantly, over a hundred needles advanced, forcefully piercing into various parts of Jiangnan's body!
Because his body was so tough, some needles couldn't penetrate and had to spin their way in, drilling through!
The pain made Jiangnan grimace!
"Fusion factor injection!"
At Li Bing's command, waves of warmth flowed through the needles into his body!
Jiangnan showed a look of enjoyment. It wasn't that bad!
٩(ૢ⁼̴̤̆◡⁼̴̤̆ૢ)۶
The large screen constantly displayed the diffusion of the fusion factor!
Li Bing stared intently at the screen!
"Blood Incineration reagent injection! Minimum rate!"
The medicine flowed in through the needles, and the needle tips turned red-hot from the terrifying heat, causing the cooling fluid to bubble furiously!
Jiangnan: ???
This was the new Blood Incineration reagent? It was this hot?
This stuff was going into his body?
The moment the reagent was injected, an extreme burning sensation spread throughout his body!
It felt like he wasn't being injected with medicine, but with magma!
Jiangnan's eyes bulged wide, his muscles tensed, and veins bulged across his skin!
His skin turned bright red, and a rapid heartbeat like a war drum echoed out!
Jiangnan was going crazy!
Damn! You didn't tell me it was going to hurt this much!
If he'd known, he would have chugged a Large Green Stick first!
The pain was one thing, but the burning sensation felt like it would incinerate him entirely!
But Jiangnan didn't make a single sound! He could handle it!
٩(ꐦಠ益ಠꐦ)۶
On the large screen, the injection progress had reached 11% and was slowly increasing!
Yang Cheng stared wide-eyed!
(๐ᵒ̌～ᵒ̌) "Heart rate 4,700 beats per minute! Body temperature 97 degrees! No significant rejection reaction!"
Li Bing's palms were sweating as she looked at Jiangnan with admiration!
He's a tough guy!
That vine guy screamed in agony the moment he was stabbed, showing how painful it was. Jiangnan hadn't even made a sound? He could endure this much?
"Upgrade to intermediate injection rate!"
The injection speed increased, and the progress accelerated!
Jiangnan's steel-like teeth were nearly ground to dust. His body temperature skyrocketed, and the coolant around him began to bubble!
Yang Cheng said urgently: "Heart rate rising to 8,800 beats per minute! Body temperature exceeding 120 degrees! Entering dangerous state!"
"Injection progress 41%. Should we administer a sedative?"
Li Bing waved her hand: "Don't worry about it! As long as his heart rate doesn't break 10,000, he can handle it!"
"Increase the injection rate to high! It's too slow; his immune system will produce a rejection reaction and block the fusion! Hurry!"
Yang Cheng sucked in a cold breath. Even at this level, they were still increasing it?
Zi Yuan, Chen Xi, and the others watching in the experimental hall were all terrified!
His heart rate wasn't breaking 10,000, so he could still handle it?
Was Nan Shen even human? So the engine sound they heard when he opened Blood Incineration before was actually his heartbeat?
Xia Yao nervously wrung her hands, because Jiangnan's expression was truly agonizing!
Yang Cheng didn't dare delay and increased the injection rate again!
Jiangnan's eyes snapped open!
"Roar~"
An inhuman roar erupted from deep in his throat, and his restrained hands and feet began to struggle uncontrollably!
Blood-red demonic patterns flashed on his skin, emerging one by one!
He felt like he was being completely incinerated, every cell in his body screaming in pain!
Yang Cheng was panicked!
(๐ರ﹏ರ) "Heart rate 12,000! Body temperature exceeding 200 degrees! Human protection mechanism engaged! Critical!"
"Nan Shen can no longer control his body! He'll die! Ice God, stop!"
Li Bing looked at the injection progress; it had reached 70%. Her eyes were bloodshot!
"Stop? No stopping! Start planting the vine on the central nervous system of the spine! Get up, I'm doing it!"
Saying this, she rushed to the console. In the glass tank, a mechanical arm extended!
A high-speed chainsaw spun and sliced into the spine at Jiangnan's lower back, even sending sparks flying!
Jiangnan's struggles intensified!
Li Bing muttered constantly: "I know it hurts. Just bear with it a little longer, and it'll pass. Be good! Be a good boy! Big sis won't let you die!"
After cutting open, a mechanical arm grabbed a translucent gelatinous vine seedling, which was only at Black Iron rank!
Li Bing had already processed it, and she directly aimed it toward Jiangnan's central nervous system to plant it!
Zhong Yingxue turned her head away, unable to watch any longer, her eyes full of pain!
Even some of the older guys grimaced!
"Damn! Where does extraordinary strength come from without cost? To be outstanding before others, you must endure hardship behind their backs!"
"Everyone only sees the powerful side of Nan Shen; he's endured a lot behind the scenes. This kind of suffering isn't something ordinary people can handle!"
The vine technique implantation continued, and the injection progress had reached 80%!
Just then, with a loud "boom!" cracks appeared in the glass tank wall. The deafening heartbeat suddenly stopped!
On the screen, the electrocardiogram became a flat line. Jiangnan spat out a mouthful of hot blood and stopped moving!
〰〰〰─〰──
Yang Cheng's eyes glistened with tears!
(*꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "His heart exploded! It failed! Nan Shen, he…"
Li Bing's surgery continued without pause, her expression resolute: "It hasn't failed. Jiangnan's limit isn't here!"
"Mila, restore only the heart! Otherwise, my operation will have been for nothing!"
Mila didn't dare delay and quickly used Restoration. A slender white beam of light directly hit the heart!
The heart was successfully restored, but the moment it was repaired, it burst again!
The super-high body temperature had already boiled the cooling fluid!
"Jiang Ning! Cool it down! Don't let the bubbles block my view!"
A blue wave of glass light fell on the glass tank, and the temperature dropped sharply!
The progress had surged to 90%, and his heart had burst three more times!
The implantation surgery was also nearing its end, but as soon as it passed 90%, Jiangnan's heart couldn't take it anymore!
Every time Mila repaired it, it instantly burst, so she could only continuously drop Restoration light beams!
His muscles began to dissolve too!
She was going crazy!
Yang Cheng cried out: "It's no good! This can't be completed! The immune system's rejection reaction is also appearing!"
"Hurry up and do a blood transfusion to save him, or he won't make it!"
Li Bing's expression was grim: "The limit?"
"This Blood Incineration was designed based on the body strength Jiangnan would have after smoothly advancing to Diamond rank. It can unlock all his potential!"
"In the end, it was still used too early? Inject sedatives, stimulants, and adrenaline!"
"Remove the Blood Incineration reagent and…"
But before she could finish, Jiangnan's eyes half-opened, showing an unimaginable stubbornness!
"Keep going! I can take it!"
Li Bing shook her head: "Your limit is here. No jokes; if we continue operating, you will really die!"
"You're already very strong. There's no need to risk it and…"
Jiangnan forced himself not to close his eyes: "Strong, but not strong enough!"
"Everyone has a limit, but as long as you take one more small step forward, you can surpass it!"
"Limits! Are meant to be broken again and again!"
"If we stop now, won't all my suffering have been for nothing? Continue! I can adapt!"
Li Bing's eyes were full of struggle. Mila once again restored Jiangnan's heart!
This time, however, it didn't burst immediately but lasted a full seven or eight seconds!
Even the rejection reaction gradually decreased!
Li Bing's pupils constricted sharply! Was Jiangnan an animal? At such an extreme level, his body was still trying to adapt?
"Let's go for it! You said you could take it yourself, so take it to the end! Maximum injection rate!"
"Boom!"
His heart burst again. Mila was frantically busy beside him, the Restoration light beam never stopping!
The onlookers were horrified. Nan Shen was putting in too much effort!
He was truly walking the edge of life and death!
Xia Yao couldn't bear to watch. Her hands and feet were sweating from tension, wishing she could share half the pain with Jiangnan!
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄～˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ "Why do you have to push yourself so hard! You big idiot!"
Zhong Yingxue shook her head: "Xiao Nan is just that adventurous type. Even if he burns himself out, he always wants to take one more step forward. It's in his nature…"
Finally, the vine technique implantation was complete, and the wound was stitched up!
And the injection progress reached 100%!
Jiangnan had gritted his teeth and endured it!
But the cooling fluid had also reached its boiling point, with white steam constantly hissing out through the gaps!
"Boom!"
The next moment, the entire glass tank exploded like an over-pressurized pressure cooker!
Glass shards and equipment were sent flying everywhere!
Jiangnan fell out of the glass tank like a boiled red shrimp, falling into a coma!
Li Bing was shocked and rushed over to help him up!
The moment her hand touched his skin, it was scalded, sending up white smoke!
The pain made Li Bing frown, but she ignored it. She quickly extended her spiritual silk threads into Jiangnan's body!
His heart held up; all vital signs gradually recovered. The vine technique survived, perfectly integrated with the spine's central nervous system!
The experiment… was a success!
Li Bing gently stroked Jiangnan's cheek, her suspended heart finally settling.
She couldn't help but chuckle: "What a passionate Southern boy! He's still hot to the touch~"
